QA Automation Software Engineer Lead (Remote, Greece or Cyprus)

At LearnWorlds, we believe learning is the original human superpower — the force that turns knowledge into products, skills, and progress.

Our platform helps creators, educators, and organizations in more than 150 countries turn expertise into scalable learning experiences that sell, teach, and transform. As AI floods the world with information, learning becomes the only countermeasure — the skill that keeps humans creative, relevant, and in control. The winners won't be those who automate fastest, but those who learn and adapt fastest. They'll need platforms that turn knowledge into teachable systems that scale — and that's exactly what LearnWorlds enables.

Build. Ship. Test. Improve. (Repeat.)

We're redefining how people create and share online learning—and we're doing it with engineers who care deeply about product quality, clean architecture, and meaningful impact.

We're a remote-first, fast-growing EdTech SaaS with a global footprint. Our Engineering team builds the core experiences that thousands of educators and learners rely on daily. We move fast, we collaborate tightly, and we're constantly leveling up—both as individuals and as a team.

We're now looking for an experienced QA Automation Software Engineer Lead to manage and expand our Test Automation team. You will manage a team of QA engineers and drive the evolution of our test automation framework, which is built on Playwright and TypeScript using the Page Object Model (POM) pattern. You'll join an established and fast-paced environment with a focus on ensuring quality deliveries and exceptional experience to all our users.

If you're a proactive leader and a skillful engineer who loves solving real quality challenges, mentoring engineers, and building scalable test automation frameworks, this is where you'll do your best work.

• Track and communicate test results in a timely, effective, and automated manner
• Identify, categorize, and report bugs and errors to development teams with insightful information (screenshots, error messages, stack traces, etc.)
• Support and implement the deployment process of test environments and be able to debug them
• Use AI-powered testing tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor) to accelerate test development, exploration, and maintenance
• Participate in deep, structured code reviews and help shape engineering and testing standards

Why You'll Love This Role

• You'll work on real features used by thousands of educators and, most importantly, tens of millions of learners around the world
• You'll build and evolve test automation frameworks that scale with our growing platform and ensure quality at every release
• You'll be part of a tight-knit team where your ideas matter, and your work directly impacts product quality
